We are so incredibly proud to announce that this year's Grand Marshal is Wil who is the community liaison coordinator at the Warwick Public Library. Wil has been our number one cheerleader since the inception of our Guild - he always steps us to offer us meeting space, advertises our events and even provided the space for us when we needed to dance for photos for our Wall Street Journal article last year. Let's hear it for Wil (be sure to wave at him in the parade - he'll be the 6'7" witch in the lead convertible!) |
Anyone who's visited Wickford Village knows that parking can be a bit of a challenge when there's an event. In order to accommodate the crowds that will be dancing and those watching, we will have offsite parking and shuttles that will loop to and from downtown Wickford. That being said, please consider carpooling! There will be NO PARKING ON BROWN STREET in the village. The municipal parking lot behind Shayna's will be CLOSED to the public. Parking in those lots will ONLY be for Handicap permit holders, band members, performers and official parade vehicles. NO EXCEPTIONS SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

Who doesn't love a little competition? This year's parade will be led by Last year's Best Witches costume competition winners. For our parade we'll have THREE categories: MAIDEN (up to age 18) MOTHER (ages 19-50) CRONE (ages 51 and up) Each of the winners in the 2023 parade will be invited to lead next year's event. |
